This card is really not as good as some people seem to think it is. It has 2 abilities that are in the current standard and one that's not. Do you want to tap things down?

The (half) Silence ability comes at (at least) a cost of 3 mana. This isn't "zomg amazing", it's just the Jace, Architect of Thought of the set.

flash doesn't want this, as there are better cards available, especially with Boros Charm coming.

aggro doesn't want this, because, while it does delay the turn 4 Supreme Verdict , you still have to leave 3 mana open, meaning you're going to completely miss any strong turn 4 play (on the play) or turn 3 play (on the draw), and, outside of a nutdraw, there's no way you'll win on the next turn. 90% of the time I'd take the Charm or Bonfire and the other 10%, when, let's say, your opponent reveals a miracle and you respond, thus stopping them from playing it, I'd take Aurelia's Fury.

Do you want to win? There's this card.

Thundermaw and Bonfire both can help me win loads, thanks.

You name two cards. Bonfire no be instant. Thundermaw tapped like biatch after play Aureliafury card. Aureliafury be only one card and instant and tap blockers and tap wincon dudes. No wait to draw both anything. Draw only fury and serve asskicking in plate.

You can serve even if you no butler. Serve fury and laugh good?

Aurelia's Fury will be cast, the vast majority of the time, during your opponent's Upkeep to shut out their turn non-creature spells so whoop-dee-doo for its Instant speed. You keep referring to it as a tap effect, because, guess what, that's the best thing it does. It also requires you to have a healthy board state to abuse the "tap down effect" making it a pretty bad top-deck without one. However, something else does it more efficiently.

And, in the post you quoted last, I meant Bonfire and Thundermaw can both win games on their own, not that they must be used together to win.

This can ensure that you can play your combat tricks without interference and that your opponent can't cast any spells to defend himself, before you attack.

It's utility is endless.

Literally the only thing this card has going against it is the fact it is a little on the expensive side (both money and mana-wise).

This card just does so much its crazy.

Need late game reach? This card is a Blaze .

Need to get rid of a single big creature? This card is a Heat Ray .

Need to get rid of multiple small creatures? This card is a Flames of the Firebrand .

Need to get creatures through to end a game, or keep your opponent from attacking with their bomb? This card is a Feeling of Dread .

Need to stop your opponent from playing combat tricks, or hold off a board wipe for an extra turn? This card is a Silence .

The mana cost is a little high, making it somewhat inefficient, but the versatility makes up for that as far as I am concerned.

This may not be as good of a board wipe as Bonfire of the Damned , or as good at tapping down your opponents stuff as Sleep , etc. but it does other things neither of those spells can.

I doubt this is going to be the OMG jam it in every deck you can kind of card that Sphinx's Revelation has become, but it will certainly see a decent amount of play.
